It has been a busy week already! We have been busy reading, writing, and counting!
When you are reading at home, continue to encourage your child to use their "Eagle Eyes" to help you determine unknown words. Have your child "read" the pictures in books. Make sure your child is able to tell you who is in the story, where they are, and what is happening. Remind your reader that the characters and events they love so much began in the mind of the author. Authors are always thinking about who will be in their stories and what those characters will do, and you should too!
Readers write, and writers read! The reading-writing connection is an important one that should be established early on. The more children understand the books and authors that they read, the easier it will be for them to become authors themselves!
Keep counting! Everyday we work to count objects and show what we know about numbers in our classroom. You can support this math work by having your child help you count and organize household objects. Have them create drawings to show how many plates, cups, forks, etc. you will need for dinner. Encourage children to think about what will happen if more people come for dinner. What if someone is missing tonight? Begin using the words more and less intentionally at home, and have your child make predictions and estimate.
